THE GREAT PORTRAIT SERIES-0002 SETUP

I used a piece of white fabric stretced to my DIY backround holder, for the backround.

Three lights were used.

1) Canon 550EX behind the white fabric, mounted on a small tripod.

Manual mode, 1/4 power.

I wanted to blow out the fabric, so i can have a clear white backround, and smooth backlight.Like an enormous softbox.

2) Canon 580EX mounted on a tripod, to the camera's left, reflected of the white ceiling, so i can have uniform light on the whole subject.Manual mode, 1/2 power.

3) Canon 580EX II, mounted on a tripod to the camera's right, shot through a white 32" umbrella.Since little Jim was playing with his head, i placed this flash for fill in his face, so i don't get shadows under his little eyes.Manual mode, 1/4 power.

The power for the three strobes came from three sets of the MAXA POWEREX rechargable batteries (see previous post). I have to report that i was shooting for about 45' (160 photos) and the power was the same, without waiting for the strobes to load.At least i didn't feel it.Nothing bothered me.Camera: Canon Eos 5D, manual mode, AWB, 1/160, f:9, shooting on RAW at ISO 200Lens: Canon 70-200mm L, f:2.8

The strobes were triggered with the Canon ST-E2 transmitter.

Post Process:Photoshop CS3 (Camera RAW) including Levels, Curves, Cloning the fabric to match with the foreground, Blur, and the final B/W conversion.

The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
